Sydney University now offering a brand new degree: ‘Bachelor of Parking Signs’

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Sydney University has become the world’s first tertiary institution to offer classes on understanding parking signs.

“Here at Sydney University, we’re all about innovation,” says the Dean of Parking Sciences, Prof. Richard Clearway.

“That’s why we’re excited to release our groundbreaking new field of study.”

Students will need an ATAR of 99.95 to be accepted into the comprehensive four year full-time degree.

“I was thinking of doing mechanical engineering, but this seems more challenging,” says student Jack Dyson.

“My end goal is to equip myself with the knowledge to interpret the most complex signs correctly and maybe even avoid some parking fines.”

As part of the course, key councillors from the City of Sydney will attend lectures to speak to students.

“We’re also taking groups of students on walking tours through the CBD to analyse some of the most complicated signs,” says Prof. Richard Clearway.

The degree is set to begin next semester, with the first batch of graduates expected in 2029.
